I had a Harley Davidson audition in El Segundo so I found a henna place on the way home to #DTLA. I wanted to go to the first place I went to get henna but Artesia would have been too far to get back in time.

I was impressed by her design and detail. The henna seemed different but I didn’t think it would be when it came off.

After she was done with the design, she blow-dried my hand and put a lemon juice ointment thing on it.She said it would help make the color darker.

I paid almost triple what I paid last time ($25 + $10 tip, 1st time : $10 + $10 tip) and I get it… It’s the time, effort, design, detail and all that stuff but if it’s not great quality, none of that really matters!

As I was paying (which at the moment, I didn’t care how much) the lady told me to not wash it off and to leave it alone for 3-4 hours!!! I shrieked because I told her I had to be somewhere at 7pm and I needed to go home and curl my hair.

I hoped that by the time I got home, it would have stained more than the last time. I assumed everything different they did would make it look darker than the first place.

When I got home, it started to crack and I could see the stained design on my skin. The surprise was, it wasn’t dark. It was light and I needed to curl my hair!

I ended up curling my hair with one hand, which btw, it is impossible and I’m more grateful NOW, to have, two hands. I washed it off and was supremely disappointed in the outcome. It was faint and from afar, it looked like I got a burn on my hand. It was orange and not cute. I was leaving to a party shortly and I was actually embarrassed about showing my hand. 🙁

The doors are shutting for a little over a year and I know you’ll be thanking me for reminding you to visit one of my favorite museums in Los Angeles.

If you haven’t been, it’s a #MUSTDO item on your list of #TODOs in LA.

It’s a great place for families and even if you don’t children. I personally don’t like the renderings of the new design but I can see why they would want something flashy. The museum being located on a busy intersection (Fairfax & Wilshire Blvd.), they are sure going to make a statement when it’s all said and done.

Wishing the best to Petersen Museum during their construction and hope it all gets done according to their timeline. I cannot wait to visit once it opens again!
